It isn’t often I get the opportunity to do something as enjoyable as driving a WRX and Golf GTi on a road course without having to pay for all of my own expenses. But that is exactly what I was given the opportunity to do on Tuesday last week, thanks to Bridgestone Australia and the launch of their new Potenza Adrenalin RE003 high performance road tyre.

The RE003 is the latest incarnation of the Adrenalin tyre range, replacing the already excellent RE002. I’ve run a few sets of RE002 in the past and I currently have them fitted on my DC2 Integra Type R and NSX. Bridgestone say that the RE003 improves on the RE002 in several key areas, primarily dry-road centre feel and traction, wet weather cornering and braking. This comes without compromising road noise or rolling resistance. Knowing what I already felt about the RE002, I was looking forward to having a steer on these new tyres! Continue reading →

The last ClubITR meet of 2014 was hosted at Brewristas. A special burger was made just for us and we all enjoyed good coffee, good food and good company. Bring on 2015! Check out the coverage and reflection here.

It was a hot day but that didn’t stop the awesome turnout we had at the ClubITR Annual BBQ hosted at Lane Cove National Park. We would like to thank Shakeel & the team, our members and our sponsors Local Authority, What The Fad, Brewristas, OFIM, Circuit Club & Tyreright who donated prizes towards our raffle. Thanks to everyone’s support, we were able to raise $600 for Cars For Hope! Check out the coverage and reflection here.

In the US market, Honda Performance Development (HPD) will offer a supercharger kit to 2013 and 2014 models. By adding this form of forced induction, we will see the power and torque boost from 100kW and 190Nm to 147kW and 239Nm. Buyers will have the option to add sports suspension, bigger 300mm disc brakes and larger 18-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres. Let’s hope Honda Australia follow suit!

The highly anticipated NSX has been spied testing at the Nürburgring in its camouflaged form. It is looking similar to what we have seen already except the bonnet is now vented! Check out the rest of the photos and join the discussion here.
